Chapter 76: Flaws
The old woman in front of her changed her face so quickly, and the contrast between her attitudes before and after was so great that even Chu He couldn't help but be stunned.
"Chen Chen, who are you? ”
After laughing and laughing, Chu He shook his head slightly, took the Qinshui Sword back, and asked casually. His words were the same as the other party's words before, but the tone was very different, so calm that it didn't seem like he was asking, but like an ordinary chat.
However, the chill on her neck had not completely dissipated, and the old woman did not dare to slack off a little, so she bent down respectfully and said: "Hui Immortal Master, the old man's surname is Jia, and he has been a servant in the Chen family for 20 years. ”
After Chu He put away the sword, she also reacted a little, and the general origin of the other party. Didn't Xi'er say that an old friend of the Ancestor had been here recently? If this person had some connection with that person, most likely he was also a real cultivator.
From the little boy to the little brother, and then to the immortal master, Granny Jia's posture lowered a little, almost treating herself as a mortal, Chu He was a little inexplicable: "Since you have already absorbed qi into your body, you don't have to talk like this." ”
Granny Jia smiled bitterly and replied again: "The immortal master doesn't know anything. The Ancestor once instructed that if we encounter ordinary casual cultivators, we can fill up the wolf with a big tail, but when we meet a monk like you, we must not make a mistake lightly. ”
Hearing this, Chu He couldn't help but nod secretly. That Chen Chen should also be a foundation building monk, but it is impossible for him to come from a famous family, if he can't restrain his subordinates, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in this Baoning City.
"Oh. Regarding Granny Jia's origin, Chu He didn't say anything, and he didn't introduce himself, and said casually, "Let me ask you a few things, when will your ancestor be out of the customs, do you know the way?"
Granny Jia was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The ancestor said before the retreat, if there is nothing important, you must not be easily disturbed...... I'm afraid it will take a long time this time. ”
Chu He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "That's it...... Did he let you look at Chen Xi before the retreat?"
"Yes. Granny Jia naturally knew that as early as the moment Chen Xi entered Chu He's room, she had already exposed her whereabouts, so she didn't hide it at this time, "The ancestor said that Miss Xi'er is the first in the three generations of the Chen family, and if someone kills her, she can kill them all." ”
Chu He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. In the face of this old woman who could only say "Old Ancestor Said", he probably couldn't ask anything, and finally asked hopelessly: "Where did Chen Xi and Chen San's Taiyi heart come from?"
"Taiyi Xinjue?" Granny Jia was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head incessantly.
Chu He saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, and the doubts in his heart deepened.
If it was just Chen San or Chen Xi who accidentally got this Taiyi heart trick, then he would never take it too seriously, after all, anyone may have some adventures. But the two of them obtained this internal skill from different ways at the same time, which made him suspicious.
The suspicious and sensitive nature made Chu He feel that there was something wrong with this.
"Forget it. Granny Jia didn't know, he didn't ask any more, and said casually, "Before the Chen family ancestor retreated, how many people like you remained?"
"Originally, there were five people, including me, but now ...... There are only four left. Granny Jia thought about it and said. It's just that when she said this, she stopped, as if waiting for Chu He to ask.
"Oh?" Chu He raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised, but there was no more.
Granny Jia waited for a long time, but she didn't see Chu He's nosy intentions, so she had to sigh helplessly and take the initiative to say: "Dare to take advantage of the ancestor's retreat to test the Chen family, it's nothing more than a few." And judging from the current signs, there is no doubt that it is the Dongcheng Jin family. ”
Although Baoning City does not occupy a vast area, the distribution of potential forces is quite complex, and the small city is divided into four cities, southeast, northwest and northwest, and the Chen family is the leader of the northern city.
Facing Granny Jia's stormy tone, Chu He was still unmoved, and let out a faint "oh" again. The corners of Granny Jia's mouth twitched slightly, but with her knowledge, she really couldn't bargain with Chu He, so she had to say: "If the Jin family really comes to the door, I hope that the immortal master can protect Miss Xi'er thoroughly, and after the ancestor is out of the customs, he will not let you work hard in vain." ”
Chu He thought about it for a long time, and then he showed a smile and said, "Since Miss Chen and I have met, it is due to fate. If there were really thieves who deceived him, Xu would definitely not stand idly by. ”
If he knew that the Chen family of Lu Dao had a foundation building monk, then what Jin family would dare to come to the door, this was obviously not something that Chu He could deal with. It's not difficult to save Chen Xi casually, and if he wants to fill in the Chen family's life, it's like a joke.
"That old body, the ancestor of the Chen family thanked the immortal master. Granny Jia finally grinned and saluted respectfully. Looking at her like that, it seems that she is sure that the Jin family will definitely make a move.
After a pause, Granny Jia said again: "By the way, tomorrow I will take those boys to your trip, and it will save them from being careless and offending you in the future......"
"No, I'm busy. Chu He waved his hand and interrupted.
Granny Jia was stunned, but she had to smile bitterly and be silent.
After asking Granny Jia a few more words, seeing that the other party really didn't know the details of the cultivators of Baoning City, Chu He also put out the thought of further exchanges, casually found an excuse, and went back to the Chen Mansion wing.
After returning to the room, Chu He sat on his bed and said to the empty room, "Langxiao, I found that there is a fatal flaw in the True Qi Imperial Sword. ”
"Well, what flaw?" this time Lang Xiao replied quickly, almost faster than the usual demons.
Chu He didn't speak, and directly drew out a beam of true qi, wrapped around the hilt of the Qinshui Sword, and swung a sword forward. This sword was different from when he usually practiced, but it was the same as when he slashed at Granny Jia, with a detachment of true qi.
"What's wrong?" Lang Xiao didn't notice anything wrong with this sword, and asked suspiciously, but then she realized that something was wrong, "No, this is really angry...... Why did it disappear?"
It can be said that the weapons played by the monks will have great power, and the infusion of true qi is the root of the fundamentals. There is no weapon with true qi or true element, it is only a divine weapon in the mortal world, and it cannot be called a spiritual weapon.
"The True Qi Beam itself is too fragile to carry the transmission of True Qi. Chu He's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Normally, I can rely on the palm of my hand to convey true qi, but once the sword leaves my body, the true qi quickly dissipates. ”
Take Chu He's sword slashing at Granny Jia as an example.
He was able to infuse True Qi into the Qinshui Sword at the beginning, because the Qinshui Sword was beside him, and it was still within the range of his True Qi leaving his body, and he could directly pour True Qi into it from all directions, which was equivalent to countless bundles of True Qi entering the sword body.
And when the Qinshui Sword was cut out, the sword was too far away from Chu He himself, and if he wanted to affect that position, he could only turn the true qi into bundles of thin wires for traction, and control the Qinshui Sword through the action of force.
"Can you also stuff a large amount of True Qi Bundle directly into it like you did when you drew your sword?" Lang Xiao was still silent, but the inner demon was much more flexible in his mind, and proposed this analogy.
"No, I can't. Chu He shook his head and said, "The farther away the True Qi Bundle is from the body, the higher the requirements for spiritual sense, and beyond the five zhangs, it is impossible for me to separate the second True Qi Bundle." As for meeting the requirements for instilling true qi...... Don't count on this for now. ”
The heart demon was also silent, and after a long time, Lang Xiao made a suggestion that was not a suggestion: "Maybe when your cultivation is higher, this problem can be solved." At least when the true element of the foundation building monk is pure enough, it can withstand the transmission of true element. ”
Chu He frowned and was silent, if it was said that the "Imperial Sword Technique" he had painstakingly researched would not play any role at all during the Qi Refining Period, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow.
The room gradually quieted down, and Chu He sometimes sat quietly in it, and sometimes got up and walked back and forth, but he didn't speak.
"Master, if you really can't think of an idea, you might as well let it go first. Seeing that Chu He had never been able to calm down, the heart demon began to persuade him, "Although the True Qi Imperial Sword is ingenious, this is only an auxiliary means after all. ”
"Yes, master!" Lang Xiao said in a rare united front with the inner demon, "The development of the Sword Book is what you need to do most now. When your cultivation enters the foundation building, the blessing power of the sword soul will be greatly enhanced, and when the time comes, ......"
"I understand what you're saying. Without waiting for Lang Xiao to finish speaking, Chu He interrupted her and chuckled, "There is no way for the time being, just let it go first, I naturally know this." Do I look like such a stubborn person?"
Being in the sword codex space, Lang Xiao's heart demon suddenly turned gloomy, and a thought appeared in his heart at the same time: You are really!
If Chu He knew what the second daughter was thinking, he would definitely feel very wronged. His evaluation of himself has always been paranoid rather than stubborn, and if he feels that he really can't do something, he will not hesitate to give up.
At most, I'll pick it up later.
However, temporarily giving up the plan to fight completely with the sword does not mean that Chu He has given up this operation concept.
If the staying power is insufficient, then at least one blow will be the force. Suppose the two of them are fighting fiercely, and one of them suddenly shakes his body and another long sword flies out of his waist, what kind of scene will it be?
What's more, there is another solution to the rapid dissipation of true qi.
After Chu He could launch a single blow, he quickly withdrew the sword to his side and threw it out again after "charging". This may not be called "swordsmanship", but if you shout "swordsmanship", there is absolutely no problem.
Therefore, Chu He did not practice the meticulous operation of True Qi for the time being, and instead practiced the technique of instantly drawing out the sword and then withdrawing it in an instant.
When his true qi was exhausted, Chu He began today's cultivation. Although before that, he also insisted on cultivating every day, but at that time, Chu He was actually not very interested in cultivating true qi.
It wasn't until he discovered the wonderful use of True Qi and discovered the great significance of manipulating True Qi for his own strength that he showed a strong interest in it.
